[Matt91]

I think it's more of an acute observation than an obtuse statement.

 

[rambo919]

Me: Good afternoon ma'am you well?
Shoprite till operator: Plastic?

Guilty until proven innocent nowadays...

@thechamp did mention it was a menial job that anyone could do

 

[Ninja'd]

Evidence or playing the RC to get their way, that's the question. But she's white so she's farked, don't need evidence then

Oh, I kind of imagined the manager in question was an Indian lady.

I have black colleagues who have told me the same thing - the people in their culture are lazy.

Black woman are apparently notoriously lazy waitresses, even other black woman avoid them.

I never go anywhere with waitresses so I dunno.

That isn't how the law works here in the People's Republik of South Africa.

If you feel you are a victim of racism, you don't need to prove anything. The onus is shifted onto the person you are accusing of racism to prove they are not racist.

Obviously she should have said the exact same thing just without using the criminal, dignity destroying K or M words that remind everyone of the 2000 years of slavery and struggle.

 

[dualmeister]

Well if they perform anything like my local Checkers staff they should be working ****ing harder.
The attitude is pathetic. I've actually had them sigh at me when ordering something from behind the display.
Zero idea of what customer service even means. I can understand the frustration ...

It would make zero difference what she ACTUALLY said... she was mean and nasty, and would have been branded a racist...

Yep. When the law came in to criminally convict people for words and we had folks here jumping up and down and salivating at the thought, some of us pointed out that there would be false accusations made.

Not a single damn given obviously as they knew it would be one-way traffic as far as race is concerned.
